1-6 9415DA-SFP PRODUCT MANUAL 9415DA-OM (V1.2)

9415DA-SFP Functional Description

Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the 9415DA-SFP. The card is

multi-rate, and supports SDI and ASI/DVB on all inputs and outputs with

non-inverting outputs. The card provides automatic format detect and reclock

at 2.970, 1.485, and 0.270 Gb/s, with reclocking for unrecognized formats

automatically set to disabled. The card uses rear modules equipped with SFP

cages, allowing SFP modules to be hot-swapped for maintenance or card

re-purposing. Because all connections are direct to the card rear module and

external SFPs, all cabling remains undisturbed for card removal/installation.

The card accepts non-MSA video SFP modules, with single and dual-channel

Tx and Rx modules available, supporting an extensive range of electrical/

coax and fiber conversions.

A crosspoint (which is user-configurable via DashBoard™) allows the card to

apply any of the card inputs to various coax DA outputs as well as up to two

independent fiber output channels (where available when fitted with

corresponding fiber SFP). The flexibly-sourced coaxial DA outputs are

available for any input on the card. Where applicable, up to two independent

fiber inputs can serve as input sources for any of the coax or fiber card outputs

(where available when fitted with corresponding fiber SFP). HDMI-to-SDI

receivers and SDI-to-HDMI transmitters can also be fitted as SFP module

choices.

9415DA-SFP Input/Output Formats

The 9415DA-SFP provides the following inputs and outputs:

• Coax-A I/O – 3G/HD/SD-SDI / ASI / MADI coaxial bidirectional

input (user set as input or output)

• Coax-B I/O – 3G/HD/SD-SDI / ASI / MADI coaxial bidirectional

input (user set as input or output)

• DA Coax Outputs 1A/B thru 4A/B– eight 3G/HD/SD-SDI / ASI /

MADI coax outputs; non-inverting. Each output pair can be

sourced from any card input

• SFP Tx (input to SFP) – two 3G/HD/SD-SDI / ASI / MADI transmit

(input) paths to rear module SFP cage. These paths provide up to

two SDI / ASI / MADI paths for use with single or dual-path SFPs

(such as a 2EO fiber transmitter).

• SFP Rx (output from SFP) – two 3G/HD/SD-SDI / ASI / MADI

receive (output) paths from rear module SFP cage. These paths

provide up to two SDI / ASI / MADI paths for use with single or

dual-path SFPs (such as a 2OE fiber receiver).

The card DashBoard UI has an SFP tab which shows the installed SFP type as

well as dynamic parameters such as receive and transmit power (as

applicable).

Note: All user control interfaces described here are cross-compatible and can

operate together as desired. Where applicable, any control setting change

made using a particular user interface is reflected on any other connected

interface.

• DashBoard™ User Interface – Using DashBoard™, the

9415DA-SFP and other cards installed in openGear®

frames can be

controlled from a computer and monitor.

DashBoard™ allows users to view all frames on a network with

control and monitoring for all populated slots inside a frame. This

simplifies the setup and use of numerous modules in a large

installation and offers the ability to centralize monitoring. Cards

define their controllable parameters to DashBoard™, so the control

interface is always up to date.

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Installation and Setup

Overview

This chapter contains the following information:

• Installing the 9415DA-SFP Into a Frame Slot (p. 2-1)

• Installing a Rear I/O Module (p. 2-3)

• Setting Up 9415DA-SFP Network Remote Control (p. 2-6)

Installing the 9415DA-SFP Into a Frame Slot

CAUTION

Heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate specific

slot placement of cards. Cards with many heat-producing components should

be arranged to avoid areas of excess heat build-up, particularly in frames

using only convection cooling. The card has a low power dissipation (<10 W).

CAUTION

Note: If installing the card in a slot with no rear I/O module, a Rear I/O Module

is required before cabling can be connected. Refer to Installing a Rear I/O

Module (p. 2-3) for rear I/O module installation procedure.

CAUTION

If required, make certain Rear I/O Module(s) is installed before installing the

card into the frame slot. Damage to card and/or Rear I/O Module can occur if

module installation is attempted with card already installed in slot.

This device contains semiconductor devices which are

susceptible to serious damage from Electrostatic

Discharge (ESD). ESD damage may not be immediately

apparent and can affect the long-term reliability of the

device.

Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments

such as carpeted areas, and when wearing synthetic fiber

clothing. Always use proper ESD handling precautions

and equipment when working on circuit boards and

related equipment.

2 Installing the 9415DA-SFP Into a Frame Slot

2-2 9415DA-SFP PRODUCT MANUAL 9415DA-OM (V1.2)

Note: Check the packaging in which the card was shipped for any extra items such

as a Rear I/O Module connection label. In some cases, this label is shipped

with the card and to be installed on the Rear I/O connector bank

corresponding to the slot location of the card.

Install the card into a frame slot as follows:

1. Determine the slot in which the card is to be installed.

2. Open the frame front access panel.

3. While holding the card by the card edges, align the card such that the

plastic ejector tab is on the bottom.

4. Align the card with the top and bottom guides of the slot in which the

card is being installed.

5. Gradually slide the card into the slot. When resistance is noticed, gently

continue pushing the card until its rear printed circuit edge terminals

engage fully into the rear I/O module mating connector.

CAUTION

If card resists fully engaging in rear I/O module mating connector, check for

alignment and proper insertion in slot tracks. Damage to card and/or rear I/O

module may occur if improper card insertion is attempted.

Verify that the card is fully engaged in rear I/O module mating

connector.

7. Close the frame front access panel.

8. Connect the input and output cables as shown in 9415DA-SFP Rear I/O

Modules (p. 2-4).

9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 for other cards.

Note: • The card BNC inputs are internally 75-ohm terminated. It is not necessary to

terminate unused BNC inputs or outputs.

• To remove a card, press down on the ejector tab to unseat the card from the

rear I/O module mating connector. Evenly draw the card from its slot.

10. If network remote control is to be used for the frame and the frame has

not yet been set up for remote control, perform setup in accordance with

Setting Up 9415DA-SFP Network Remote Control (p. 2-6).

Note: If installing a card in a frame already equipped for, and connected to

DashBoard™, no network setup is required for the card. The card will be

discovered by DashBoard™ and be ready for use.
